Saed Hindash/The Star-LedgerDevils goalie Martin Brodeur makes one of 18 saves in his 650th career victory.

The Devils’ power play finished 2-for-5 in the triumph over the Flyers Sunday night, with goals from Patrik Elias and Zach Parise.

They have four power play goals in three games.

“We’re excited about it. I think the fans are excited about it now when we get a power play,” Parise said. “Even when we’re not scoring, we’re getting great opportunities. We’re getting really good puck possession and that’s a big difference. Whether you’re scoring or not, you can get some good setup time and feel good about it. Everyone’s got a little extra patience. It looks really good right now.”

Marek Zidlicky’s assist (on Parise’s goal) gave the defenseman points in three straight games (1-3-4).

Ilya Kovalchuk, who assisted on the Elias PPG, finished with a goal and two assists. He has 11 points (five goals, six assists) in seven games.

This is a strange stretch for the Devils, with three games against the Islanders and two against the Flyers.

“We’re doing a good job. We’re matching up well,” Parise said. “We’re correcting mistakes we make the first time playing the team. So we’ll make sure we’re on top of our game in Philadelphia (Tuesday night).”

Goalie Martin Brodeur took his 650th career win in stride.

"They're definitely numbers now. I think when you beat a record, like I did a few years back, after that it's kind of all gravy," he said. "This was my 25th win this season, which I was trying to get to mentally just to go forward. They're small goals I have, so I'm happy to achieve that.

"Six-fifty is a round number"

A number coach Pete DeBoer can't comprehend.

"It's an amazing number," DeBoer said. "I don't have the words to do that justice, that type of body of work."

Brodeur posted his 552nd career win to pass Patrick Roy on the all-time list March 17, 2009.
